Overview

Mission

To support the activities of the spokane police department, to help lessen the burden of government, and to help combat community deterioration and juvenile delinquency.

What it reported doing in 2024

The police activities league (pal) engages youth with summer activities such as flag football, basketball, running, soccer, swimming, and baseball. Science, technology, engineering, and math (stem) enrichment activities and lunch are provided at every session. Officers and community volunteers mentor participating youth, providing positive role models and reinforcement of the program's core values. In 2024 the program served over 350 youth participants throughout the summer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
